"I won't send them if they will not be allowed to conduct inspections," he said.

The mayor, along with Chambersburg police Chief David Arnold, introduced an ordinance last week to allow two Chambersburg Police Department officers to attend truck inspection training.

The public in attendance at the council meeting and members of council felt the small number of truck accidents and existing safety regulations make the required 140 annual hours of investment in manhours unnecessary.

Lagiovane says he will continue to do his job and look out for the issues that require ordinances to be passed.

One of the ordinances in particular is the BYOB ordinance for restaurants that allow patrons to bring their own liquor. Lagiovane and Arnold introduced it last June after they felt then-current borough regulations didn't have enough teeth. After several revisions, the board approved the ordinance on Feb. 25.

"I've won some and lost ones," Mayor Lagiovane said.
